DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring now to FIGS. 1A-100, embodiments of scented holding devicesystems 100, and attacher systems 100 a that include attachment piecesystems and attachment piece part systems, devices that are used in thesystems and hangers are exemplarily illustrated. Although the inventionhas been exemplarily illustrated by reference to specific embodiments,it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that variouschanges and modifications may be made which clearly fall within thescope of the invention. The invention is intended to be protectedbroadly within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

It is to be understood that the term “readily” as used herein isintended to mean within between zero seconds and sixty seconds,preferable between zero seconds and five seconds, and more preferablybetween zero seconds and one second. It is to be further understood thatbetween zero seconds and one second is further to be defined as beingimmediately.

As exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. including but not limited to FIGS.9, 10, 16-22, 27, 47-51, 79, 92, 93A and 100, the holding device 102 maybe any device that functions to hold at least one other item and that islarge enough to which a user can attach at least one fragrance piece 104to it without requiring the use of one or more tools. A number ofdifferent holding devices 102 are exemplarily illustrated in theseFIGS., however it is to be understood that any device currently known orto be discovered in the art that holds at least one other item and thatis large enough for the attachment and removal of at least one fragrancepiece 104 without requiring the aid of one or more tools can be used,including, but not limited to, the following: clothes hangers 188,cabinets, drawers, storage bags, storage boxes or containers, jewelryboxes, garbage receptacles, garbage cans, waste basket, garbage bags,hampers, tote bags, back packs, luggage, luggage bags, boxes, carorganizer bags, shoe racks, garment bags, shoe bags, hanging shoe bags,sweater bags, hanging sweater or shirt bags, sports bags, automobiles,automobile organizer bags, sectional or compartmental bag, hangingsectional or compartmental bag, automobile transport bags, includingautomobile transport bags in the shape of a box with or without a lid,which are often used for the transport of sports equipment. These itemscould be made of materials currently known or to be discovered,including but not limited to, plastic, metal, wood, fabric, fiberglass,vinyl, polyester, nylon, rubber, natural fibers such as cotton, and/orother fibers.

Without intending to be limiting, commonly known hanging bags can hangfrom one or more hook, or a one or two piece fabric and/or Velcro® bandthat can loop around a horizontal pole, the fabric can be attached tothe bag via a metal screw or nail and cardboard, and can be attachedaround the pole with the use of the Velcro® or snaps.

Referring now to exemplary FIGS. including but not limited to FIGS. 2-8,the scented holding device system 100 includes at least one fragrancepiece 104 that can be of a variety of sizes and shapes. In someembodiments, the fragrance piece 104 is elongated such that it is longerthan it is wide, or vice versa, and, as exemplarily illustrated in FIGS.2 and 5-8, in those embodiments, preferably the fragrance piece 104 willbe generally cylindrical, as there will be no edges to snag on itemsbeing held in the holding device 102, and little or no wear and tear onthe attacher 106 will be caused by fragrance piece 104 edges when it isattached with and removed from the holding device 102. Also, a generallycylindrically-shaped fragrance piece 104 may be easier than some othershaped pieces to attach with and remove from the attacher 106 on theholding device 102. The ends 108 of the fragrance piece 104 may be ofany shape, such as but not limited to, rounded, pointed or squared-off,however, rounded, such as but not limited to those exemplarilyillustrated in FIGS. 2 and 5-8 is preferable to ends 108 with sharpedges, as there will be less chance of the end 108 snagging items beingheld by the holding device 102.

The fragrance piece can be made of any shape. Each fragrance piece 104has an outer surface 110, which is the surface that can interact withthe attacher 106 when the fragrance piece 104 is attached. At least apart of the outer surface 110 of the fragrance piece 104 will be made ofany material currently known or to be discovered in the art that may beattached with a fragrance piece, or formed into a fragrance piece, andthat either emits a fragrance and/or neutralizes the odors in thesurrounding area.

It is to be understood that the terms “fragrance”, “odor” or scent” asused herein can include, but are not limited to, natural, synthetic, ora combination of natural and synthetic aroma chemicals. Further, theterms “fragrance”, “odor” and “scent” as used herein, are intended toinclude a mixture of aroma chemicals. The term “natural aromaderivatives” is intended to include essential oils.

Some embodiments of the scented holding device system and fragrancepiece in the current invention use natural aroma derivatives includingbut not limiting to cedar, lavender, rose, and synthetic aromas.

It is intended that at least a part of the outer surface 110 of thefragrance piece 104, and in some embodiments, the entire fragrance piece104, will be made of materials known in the art or to be discovered thatemit a fragrance and/or neutralize the fragrances and/or odors in thesurrounding area, including but not limited to, general plastics,polymers, polyolefins, thermal plastic polymers and copolymers, underpolyolefins, including but not limited to polypropylene (PP), LDPE,LLDPE, HDPE, under thermal plastic polymers, including but not limitedto polycarbonate (PC), PVC, thermal plastic elastomers (TPE), under TPEincluding but not limited to TPS, and under copolymers, including butnot limited to Elvaloy and EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate). In addition,polystyrene could be used particularly if its fragrance holding and/oremitting properties are enhanced.

The preferred fragrance load of an embodied fragrance piece is 1% orhigher using the above-mentioned materials, including but not limited togeneral plastics, polymers, polyolefins, including but not limited toPP, LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, thermal plastic polymers, including but notlimited to PC, PVC, TPE, TPS, copolymers including but not limited toEVA and Elvaloy.

Any fragrance may be emitted by the fragrance piece 104. It is to beunderstood that the number of possible fragrances currently known or tobe discovered is vast. Without intending to be limiting, scents amongthe vast varieties of possible fragrances that may be used include, butare not limited to, the following: lavender, rose, cedar, fresh linen,and fresh cotton.

Fragrances may be used for a variety or reasons, including, but notlimited to the following: emitting a pleasant scent, emitting a scentthat will compete with or replace a surrounding scent or odor, emittinga scent that will refresh the surrounding area, and/or emitting a scentthat will neutralize the surrounding area. It is to be understoodtherefore that it is intended that fragrances included in the currentinvention may be of any odor that is generally considered by the user tobe very pleasant, very unpleasant or anywhere in between.

Reference is now made to exemplarily illustrated FIGS. including but notlimited to FIGS. 1A, 9-13, 15-22, 28, 29, 40, 47-51, 60, 66, 69, 78, 79,84, 92 and 100. The at least one fragrance piece 104 is removablyattachable with a holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106. Therequirement that the at least one fragrance piece 104 is removablyattachable with a holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106 isidentified herein as the “required attachment parameter”. The attacher106 may be integral with the holding device 102 or it may be at leastone separate piece that is fixedly or removably attached with theholding device 102.

In some embodiments, the fragrance piece 104 is removably attachablewith the holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106 in a mannerthat in some embodiments can provide convenience, and will be identifiedas the “removal attachment parameters,” defined as follows: when theattacher 106 is attached with the holding device 102, the fragrancepiece 104 may be attached with and removed from the attacher 106 withoutrequiring the removal of any part of the attacher 106 from the holdingdevice 102. It is to be understood however, that when the attacher 106is attached with the holding device 102 the parameter that the fragrancepiece 104 may be attached with and removed from the attacher 106 withoutrequiring the removal of any part of the attacher 106 from the holdingdevice 102, does not mean that the attacher 106, or any part thereof,cannot be removed or may not be removed from the holding device 102 toattach or remove the fragrance piece 104, rather the requirement meansthat removal of any part of the attacher 106 from the holding device 102is not required for the attachment or removal of the fragrance piece104.

In some preferred embodiments, the fragrance piece 104 is removablyattachable with the holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106 in amanner that will be identified as the “preferred attachment parameters,”defined as follows: the fragrance piece 104 is removably attachable withthe holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106 in a manner wherebywhen the fragrance piece 104 is attached with the holding device, 102 itis sufficiently snug that the fragrance piece 104 will remain attachedand will not readily become unattached due to gravity if the holdingdevice 102 is turned in any direction, however at the same time it isnot so snuggly attached that one or more tools must be used to attachthe fragrance piece 104 with or remove the fragrance piece 104 from theattacher 106.

In some more preferred embodiments, the fragrance piece 104 is removablyattachable with the holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106 in amanner that will be identified as the “more preferred attachmentparameters,” defined as follows: the fragrance piece 104 is removablyattachable with the holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106 in amanner whereby when the fragrance piece 104 is attached with the holdingdevice, 102 it is sufficiently snug that the fragrance piece 104 willremain attached and will not readily become unattached due to gravity ifthe holding device 102 is turned in any direction, however at the sametime it is not so snuggly attached that one or more tools or more than amoderate amount of force from an ordinary user must be used to attachthe fragrance piece 104 with or remove the fragrance piece 104 from theattacher 106.

In some embodiments, the fragrance piece 104 is removably attachablewith the holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106 in a mannerthat will be identified as the “removal and fit attachment parameters,”defined as follows: the fragrance piece 104 is removably attachable withthe holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106 in a manner inwhich: 1) when the attacher 106 is attached with the holding device 102,the fragrance piece 104 may be attached and removed from the attacher106 without requiring the removal of any part of the attacher 106 fromthe holding device 102; and 2) the fragrance piece 104 is removablyattachable with the holding device 102 in a manner whereby when thefragrance piece 104 is attached it is sufficiently snug that thefragrance piece 104 will remain attached and will not readily becomeunattached due to gravity if the holding device 102 is turned in anydirection, however at the same time it is not so snuggly attached thatone or more tools must be used to attach the fragrance piece 104 with orremove the fragrance piece 104 from the attacher 106. It is to beunderstood however, that within this definition, when the attacher 106is attached with the holding device 102 the parameter that the fragrancepiece 104 may be attached with and removed from the attacher 106 withoutrequiring the removal of any part of the attacher 106 from the holdingdevice 102, does not mean that the attacher 106, or any part thereof,cannot be removed or may not be removed from the holding device 102 toattach or remove that fragrance piece 104, rather the requirement meansthat removal of any part of the attacher 106 from the holding device 102is not required for the attachment or removal of the fragrance piece104.

In some embodiments, the fragrance piece 104 is removably attachablewith the holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106 in a mannerthat will be identified as the “preferred removal and fit attachmentparameters,” defined as follows: the fragrance piece 104 is removablyattachable with the holding device 102 by at least one attacher 106 in amanner in which: 1) when the attacher 106 is attached with the holdingdevice 102, the fragrance piece 104 may be attached and removed from theattacher 106 without requiring the removal of any part of the attacher106 from the holding device 102; and 2) the fragrance piece 104 isremovably attachable with the holding device 102 in a manner wherebywhen the fragrance piece 104 is attached it is sufficiently snug thatthe fragrance piece 104 will remain attached and will not readily becomeunattached due to gravity if the holding device 102 is turned in anydirection, however at the same time it is not so snuggly attached thatone or more tools or more than a moderate amount of force from anordinary user must be used to attach the fragrance piece 104 with orremove the fragrance piece 104 from the attacher 106. It is to beunderstood however, that within this definition, when the attacher 106is attached with the holding device 102 the parameter that the fragrancepiece 104 may be attached with and removed from the attacher 106 withoutrequiring the removal of any part of the attacher 106 from the holdingdevice 102, does not mean that the attacher 106, or any part thereof,cannot be removed or may not be removed from the holding device 102 toattach or remove that fragrance piece 104, rather the requirement meansthat removal of any part of the attacher 106 from the holding device 102is not required for the attachment or removal of the fragrance piece104.

In some embodiments, as exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. including butnot limited to FIGS. 1A, 14, 15-17, 25-27, 30, 40, 42-45, 47-51, 59-70,85-91, each attacher 106 may include one or more attachment pieces 112that is or are integrally integrated with, and/or fixedly or removablyattached or attachable with the holding device 102. Referring now toexemplary FIGS. 14 and 15, each attachment piece 112 may made up of morethan one part, referred to as “attachment piece parts 114,” that arecompatible with and interact with each other, and that are attached, orare fixedly or removably attached or attachable with at least one otherattachment piece part 114. Thereby, the at least one fragrance piece 104may be removably attachable with a holding device 102 within therequired attachment parameters, and in some embodiments also within theremoval attachment parameters, the preferred attachment parameters, themore preferred attachment parameters, the removal and fit attachmentparameters and/or the preferred removal and fit attachment parameters,with an attacher 106 that includes the attachment of the at least twoattachment piece parts 114 with each other. It is to be understood thatany number of attachment piece parts 114 may be attached or attachablewith each other as long as at least one fragrance piece 104 isattachable with the holding device 102 within the required attachmentparameters, and in some embodiments also within the removal attachmentparameters, the preferred attachment parameters, the more preferredattachment parameters, the removal and fit parameters and/or thepreferred removal and fit attachment parameters.

It is to be understood that in some embodiments, a single attachmentpiece 112 can in some embodiments be an attacher 106 without therequirement of the use of one or more attachment piece parts 114, and insome embodiments if the attachment piece 112 requires the addition ofone or more attachment piece parts 114 to attach the at least onefragrance piece 104 with the holding device 102, the attachment piece112 also can be an attachment piece part 114. For example, and withoutintending to be limiting, a loop 152 made of two-sided hook and loopmaterial 178 such as the loop exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 70, couldbe attached directly with a holding device that is at least partiallymade of hook and loop material. In another embodiment, to attached thesame loop 152 made of two-sided hook and loop material 178 that isexemplarily illustrated in FIG. 70 to a holding device that is not atleast partially made of hook and loop material, an attachment piece part114, such as the piece of hook and loop material 178 that is exemplarilyillustrated in FIG. 86 or in FIG. 27, also would have to be attachedwith the holding device 102.

In some embodiments, the at least one fragrance piece 104 is removablyattachable within the required attachment parameters with the holdingdevice 102 with an integral attacher 106 and/or with an attacher thatincludes at least one attachment piece 112 or attachment piece part 114.

As exemplarilyillustrated in FIGS. 25-27, at least one prong 134, loop 152, and/orsupplemental piece 182 with loops 152 can be attached with a piece ofhook and loop material 178.

Referring now to FIGS. including, but not limited to, FIGS. 18, and28-34 a, embodiments of the system 100 are exemplarily illustratedwherein the attacher 106 includes at least one slot 116. The at leastone slot 116 may be located on any accessible portion of the holdingdevice 102. By way of example, and not intending to be exhaustive, theat least one slot 116 may be located on a portion on the outer structureof the holding device 102, as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 18, or aninterior portion of a holding device 102 such as, but limited to alining, inner compartment, or other interior portion. By way of example,and not intending to be limiting, the at least one slot 116 can be cutinto the lining of a holding device 102, including but not limited to,luggage, sports bags garment bags, shoe bags and sweater bags. Inaddition, as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 30, at least one slot 116can be cut into a piece of a material 128, which can be integrallyintegrated with, and/or fixedly or removably attached and/or attachablewith a holding device 102 in a variety of ways. The attachment piece ofa material 128 is discussed in more detail in subsequent paragraphs andFIGS.

Specifically referring now to exemplary FIGS. 28 and 29, the portion ofthe holding device 102 or piece of a material 128 attachment piecehaving a slot 116 has a first side 118 and a second side 120. Each slot116 is a cut in a portion of the holding device 102 or piece of amaterial 128 through which a fragrance piece 104 may be inserted fromthe first side 118 through the slot 116 to the second side 120, or viceversa from the second side 120 through the slot 116 to the first side118. When attached with the holding device 102 by at least one slot 116,a portion of the fragrance piece 104 will be on the first side 118 and aportion of the fragrance piece 104 will be on the second side 120. Theat least one slot 116 can be located anywhere on the holding device 102,including but not limited to, in the top, sides, or bottom of theholding device 102. The at least one fragrance piece 104 will beattachable with the at least one slot 116 within at least the requiredattachment parameters. Preferably, the interaction of the at least onefragrance piece 104 and the at least one slot 116 will be within thepreferred attachment parameters, and more preferably at least within themore preferred attachment parameters. It is to be understood, however,that the type of materials and/or combination of materials, and/or thenumber of slots 116 that will accomplish the preferred attachmentparameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters between thefragrance piece 104 and the at least one slot 116 can vary. In addition,in some embodiments, the interaction of the at least one fragrance piece104 and the at least one slot 116 will be within the removal attachmentparameters, the removal and fit attachment parameters and/or thepreferred removal and fit attachment parameters.

Slots 116 can vary in width and length, size, number, and placement inthe holding device 102. When more than one slot 116 is included, theyare generally aligned to enable a generally straight fragrance piece tobe attached with and removed from the holding device 102 by weaving thefragrance piece 104 in and out of the slots 116. FIGS. 28 and 29illustrate an exemplary embodiment wherein the attacher 106 includesmore than one slot 116, and the slots 116 are aligned generally in aline, so that the generally straight fragrance piece 104 may easily bewoven from one slot 116 to the next.

Referring now to exemplary FIGS. 28 and 31 -34 a, in some embodiments,the relationship of the size of the fragrance piece 104 and the lengththe at least one slot 116 is calculated by drawing an imaginary circle122 around the outside general circumference of a fragrance piece andmeasuring the diameter “a-a” of the imaginary circle 122 (called“calculated diameter 124”). As exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 34 and34A, if the width of the fragrance piece 104 is not consistent, thecalculated diameter 124 may be calculated from the widest part of thefragrance piece 104 that can engage the attacher 106 when the fragrancepiece 104 is attached with the holding device 102. In these embodiments,the calculated diameter 124 is equal to or less than one half of thelength “b-b” 126 of the slot 116 and equal to or greater than one fourthof the length “b-b” 126 of the slot 116. By way of example, and notintending to be limiting, if the length of the of a slot 116 is 1 inch,the calculated diameter 124 of the fragrance piece 104 will be equal toor less than ½ inch and equal to or greater than ¼ inch.

Other embodiments of the scented holding device system 100, attachersystems, 100 a, including attachment piece systems, attachment piecepart systems, and/or devices are exemplarily illustrated in FIGS.including but not limited to FIGS. 11-13, 15, 16, 23-25, 35-58, 87, 88,92, 93-95 and 100, wherein the attachment piece 112 includes at leastone prong 134. The at least one prong 134 may be directly fixedly orremovably attached or attachable with the holding device 102 by wayscurrently known in the art or to be discovered, including but notlimited to, tacking, stapling, bonding, taping, heat sealing, welding,molding, magnetic attraction, weaving, sewing, hook and loop material,such as but not limited to Velcro®, and/or mechanical interaction, suchas but not limited to tongue and groove interaction, or may be directlyfixedly or removably attached or attachable with a compatible attachmentpiece 112 or attachment piece part 114 by ways currently known or to bediscovered in the art, including but not limited to tacking, stapling,bonding, taping, heat sealing, welding, molding, magnetic attraction,weaving, sewing, hook and loop material, such as but not limited toVelcro®, and/or mechanical interaction, such as but not limited totongue and groove interaction. The at least one prong 134 can beintegrally integrated with and/or attached or attachable with theholding device 102, as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 92, or to anattachment piece 112 or attachment piece part 114, as exemplarilyillustrated in FIG. 35 in a manner whereby each prong 134 is an integralpart of the holding device 102 or attachment piece 112 or attachmentpiece part 114 by ways currently know in the art, such as, but notlimited to by molding, weaving, and ways to be discovered in the art.The attachment piece part 114 can be a piece of a material 128, which isdescribed in more detail in subsequent paragraphs and FIGS. If the atleast one prong 134 is attached with at least one attachment piece 112or attachment piece part 114, the at least one attachment piece 112 orat least one of the attachment piece parts 114 is integrally integratedwith, and/or fixedly or removably attached or attachable with theholding device 102. When the at least one prong 134 is attached with theholding device 102 either directly or with the assistance of at leastone attachment piece 112 or attachment piece part 114, the fragrancepiece 104 will be removably attachable with the at least one prong 134within the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferredattachment parameters, and in some embodiments also within the removaland fit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal and fitparameters.

Reference is now made to FIGS. 36-38. It is to be noted that each prong134 will have a holding device end 136, which is the end of the prong134 that is closest to the holding device 102 when the prong 134 isattached with the holding device 102, and a gap end 138, which is thefree end of the prong 134. Each prong 134 will define a gap “c-c”,referred to as the “prong gap 140”, which is the area between the gapend 138 of the prong 134 and the inner surface 142 of the prong that isclosest to the holding device 102, the holding device 102, or thecorresponding attachment piece 112 or attachment piece part 114.

Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary FIGS. 23a-e, 24 a-d, and 38-40, each prong 134 has an inner surface 142, whichis the surface that is facing the fragrance piece 104 when the fragrancepiece 104 is attached. The inner surface 142 of the at least one prong134 can be a variety of lengths, widths and shapes as long as thepreferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachmentparameters are satisfied, and in some embodiments also as long as theremoval and fit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal andfit parameters are satisfied, when the at least one fragrance piece 104is attached and the prong 134 is attached with the holding device 102either integrally, directly or with the assistance of at least one otherattachment piece 112 or attachment piece part 114. The use of somematerials, which include, but are not limited to, micro fiber andsponge, on the inner surface 142 of a prong 134 can enhance theinteraction of the fragrance piece 104 and the inner surface 142 of theprong 134, and thereby in some embodiments enhance the accomplishment ofthe preferred attachment parameters and/or more preferred attachmentparameters.

Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary FIGS.11-13, 24 a-d, 38, 39 and 41-45, when the at least one prong 134 isviewed from the side, the inner surface or surfaces of the at least oneprong 134 define a shape, that will be referred to as the “inner surfaceshape” 144. The inner surface shape 144 defines a space, referred to asthe “fragrance piece space” 146 into which the fragrance piece 104 maybe inserted. It is to be noted that when the inner surface shape 144 isdefined by at least two prongs 134 with inner surfaces 142 facing eachother, the prongs 134 can be either directly across from each other,such as those exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 41-45, or they can beoff-set from each other, such as those exemplarily illustrated in FIGS.11-13, 38, and 39. If they are off-set from each other the inner surfaceshape 144 will be made up of all of the prongs 134 with which the atleast one fragrance piece 104 interacts when the at least one fragrancepiece 104 is attached, as exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 11-13.

Depending on the size, shape, location and number of prongs 134 and theat least one fragrance piece 104, the at least one fragrance piece 104may be inserted into the fragrance piece space 146 in a number of ways.

Depending on the shape and size of the fragrance piece 104 and dependingon the size, and shape of the prong gap 140, the at least one fragrancepiece 104 can be inserted in the at least one prong 134 by inserting thefragrance piece 104 directly into fragrance piece space 146 through theprong gap 140. In order to be able to insert the at least one fragrancepiece 104 into the fragrance piece space 146 directly through the pronggap 140, the prong gap 140 must be directly accessible.

As exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 37 and 46, when the inner surfaceshape 144 is created by at least two prongs 134 with inner surfaces 142facing each other and none of the prong gaps 140 fully overlap eachother, a gap “d-d” into the fragrance piece space 146 is provided, whichis referred to as an “accessible prong gap 148.” As exemplarilyillustrated in FIGS. 23 a-b and 36, when one prong 134 is provided orwhen all of the prongs 134 are on same side of the fragrance piece 104when it is attached, the fragrance piece space 146 may be directlyaccessible through the prong gap 140, and this prong gap “c-c” 140 isalso referred to as an accessible prong gap “d-d” 148.

When the inner surface shape is created by at least two prongs 134 withinner surfaces facing each other, all, some or none of the prong gaps140 may overlap an opposing prong 134. As exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 24 b-d if the prong gaps 140 on opposing sides of the fragrancepiece space do not overlap, and an accessible prong gap 148 is provided,the fragrance piece 104 may be inserted directly into the fragrancepiece space 146 through the accessible prong gap 148 if the accessibleprong gap 148 is sufficiently wide for the fragrance piece 104 and/or ifthe prongs 134 are sufficiently flexible to increase the accessibleprong gap 148 to enable the fragrance piece 104 to be inserted. Inaddition, in some embodiments, even if the prong gaps 140 on opposingsides of the fragrance piece 104 space do overlap, if the prongs 134 aresufficiently flexible to create an accessible prong gap 148 throughwhich the fragrance piece 104 may be inserted, the fragrance piece 104can be directly inserted into the fragrance piece space 146 through thecreated accessible prong gap 148.

Referring now to FIG. 40, in some embodiments, the at least onefragrance piece 104 can be attached with the at least one prong 134 bysliding the fragrance piece 104 generally lengthwise into the openfragrance piece space 146 of the at least one prong 134. In addition, insome embodiments, if more than one prong 134 is provided on oppositesides from one another, the at least one fragrance piece 104 also can beinserted in the prongs 134 by moving the fragrance piece 104 in and out(not shown) of the prongs 134.

As exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 24 a and 24 d, in some embodimentsthe inner surface shape 144 of the at least one prong 134 and the outersurface 110 of the fragrance piece 104 will be made in complimentaryshapes. By way of example, and without intending to be exhaustive, thefollowing are examples of complimentary prongs 134 and fragrance pieces104: circular concave inner surface shape 144 with cylindrical fragrancepieces 104, elongated concave inner surface shape 144 with ovalfragrance pieces 104, strait diagonal triangular inner surface shape 144with triangular fragrance pieces 104, straight right-angled innersurface shape 144 with square or rectangular fragrance pieces 104,star-shaped inner surface shape 144 with star-shaped fragrance pieces104, and a heart shaped inner surface shape 144 for heart shapedfragrance pieces 104.

However, as illustrated in an exemplary and non-exhaustive manner inFIG. 24 b, it is to be noted that the inner surface shape 144 of the atleast one prong 134 and the outer surface of the fragrance piece 104 arenot required to be made in complimentary shapes as long as the preferredattachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parametersare satisfied, and in some embodiments also as long as the removal andfit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal and fitparameters are satisfied, when the fragrance piece 104 is attached whenthe prong 134 is attached with the holding device 102 either directly orwith the assistance of at least one other attachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114. By way of example, and without intending tobe exhaustive, curved fragrance pieces 104 can be used with prongs 134having straight inner surfaces 142 or inner surface shapes 144 includingstraight lines connected at 90 degrees from one another, and fragrancepieces 104 with straight sides can be used with prongs 134 having curvedinner surfaces 142. In addition, the inner surface shape of the at leastone prong 134 and/or the outer surface of the at least one fragrancepiece 104 can be irregularly shaped.

The prongs 134 may be of varying sizes, shapes, locations andconfigurations on the holding device 102 as long as the preferredattachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parametersmay be obtained, and in some embodiments also as long as the removal andfit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal and fitparameters may be obtained, with at least one fragrance piece 104. FIGS.23 a-e illustrate examples of varying prong 134 sizes, shapes, locationsand configurations, however, it is to be understood that these examplesare not intended to be exhaustive or limiting. Without intending to belimiting, FIG. 52 illustrates a number of prongs 134 that may be alignedwith one another on a holding device 102, attachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114. While FIG. 52 illustrates between one and tenprongs 134 being aligned, it is to be understood that more than tenprongs 134 can also be aligned for holding devices 102 that aresufficiently large to accommodate them.

Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to FIGS. 42-51, theaccessible prong gap 148 of at least one prong 134 can be located at avariety of places around the at least one prong 134. As a result, whenat least one prong 134 is attached with the holding device 102, it maybe attached such that the accessible prong gap 148 is located indirections including but not limited to toward the top, bottom, middle,forward, backward, various sides, or diagonally. The placement of theaccessible prong gap 148 of the at least one prong 134 in relation tothe holding device 102 can enhance the ease of the attachment andremoval of the fragrance piece 104 with and from the at least one prong134 when it is attached with the holding device 102. By way of example,and without intending to be limiting, an upward facing accessible pronggap 148 could be beneficial for a holding device 102 that is often onthe floor, such as an under-the-bed storage box, a downward facingaccessible prong gap 148 could be beneficial for a use that is overhead,such as an overhead cabinet, a forward facing accessible prong gap 148could be beneficial to a front-opening holding device 102, such as akitchen cabinet, and a rear facing prong gap 148 could be beneficial toa rear-opening holding device 102 such as an entertainment cabinet.

It is to be understood that the prongs 134 can be attached with theholding device 102 in a manner whereby the accessible prong gap 148faces a particular direction, such as but not limited to, forward,backward, up, down, or diagonal. In addition, if the prongs 134 are onan attachment piece 112 or attachment piece part 114 in a manner wherebythe accessible prong gap 148 is at an angle, such as exemplarilyillustrated in FIGS. 43 and 44, rather than oriented toward the middle,such as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 42, it would be possible toattach the same attachment piece 112 or attachment piece part 114 in avariety of different ways on at least one holding device 102 such thatthe direction of the accessible prong gap 148 can be facing in differentdirections, such as but not limited to forward, exemplarily illustratedin FIG. 47, backward exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 48, up, exemplarilyillustrated in FIG. 49, down, exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 50 ordiagonal, exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 51.

Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary FIGS.11-13, 23 c, 39, and 40, in some embodiments, three prongs 134 can beused to hold a fragrance piece 104. In these embodiments, the threeprongs 134 can be arranged with two prongs 134 on one side of thefragrance piece space 146 and one in the middle of the other two,located on the other side of the fragrance piece space 146. In theseembodiments, three prongs 134 are preferable to more than three prongs134 because it in some embodiments it can be easier to slide thefragrance piece 104 in and out of three prongs 134 than more than threeprongs 134, while at the same time, the use of three prongs 134 and thearrangement of the prongs 134 on both sides of the fragrance piece spacecan easily satisfy the preferred attachment parameters and/or morepreferred attachment parameters with appropriately shaped and sizedfragrance pieces 104.

Referring now to exemplary FIG. 24 b, in some embodiments to enable theattachment of the fragrance piece 104 within at least the preferredattachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parametersfor a fragrance piece 104 having a circular outer shape, at least twogenerally opposing sides of the outer surface 110 of the fragrance piece104 will make contact with the inner surface 142 of the at least oneprong 134.

As exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 53, a fragrance piece 104 having acrescent outer shape will have two end points 154.

The at least one loop 152can be made of materials having a memory, referred to as “memorymaterials”, including but not limited to elastic, rubber and memorymetal. The at least one loop 152 may vary in size, number, andplacement.

The at least one loop 152 may be directly fixedly or removably attachedor attachable with the holding device 102 by ways currently known in theart or to be discovered, including but not limited to, tacking,stapling, adhesive, taping, heat sealing, molding, magnetic attraction,bonding, welding, weaving, sewing, hook and loop material, such as butnot limited to Velcro®, and/or mechanical interaction, such as but notlimited to tongue and groove interaction, or may be directly fixedly orremovably attached or attachable with a compatible attachment piece 112or attachment piece part 114 by ways currently known or to be discoveredin the art, including but not limited to tacking, stapling, adhesive,taping, heat sealing, molding, magnetic attraction, bonding, welding,weaving, sewing, hook and loop material, such as but not limited toVelcro®, and/or mechanical interaction, such as but not limited totongue and groove interaction. As exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 59,the at least one loop 152 can be integrally integrated and/or attachedor attachable with the holding device 102 or to an attachment piece partin a manner whereby each loop 152 is an integral part of the holdingdevice 102, attachment piece 112, or attachment piece part 114 by wayscurrently know in the art, such as, but not limited to by molding,weaving, and ways to be discovered in the art. The attachment piece part114 can be a piece of a material 128, which is described in more detailin subsequent paragraphs and FIGS. If the at least one loop 152 isintegral, attachable or attached with at least one attachment piece 112or attachment piece part 114, the at least one attachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114 is integrally integrated and/or fixedly orremovably attached or attachable with the holding device 102 eitherdirectly or with the assistance of at least one attachment piece part114. When the at least one loop 152 is attached with the holding device102 either directly or with the assistance of at least one attachmentpiece 112 or attachment piece part 114, the fragrance piece 104 will beremovably attachable with the at least one loop 152 at least within therequired attachment parameters. Preferably, when the at least one loop152 is attached with the holding device 102, either directly or with theassistance of at least one attachment piece 112 or attachment piece part114, the fragrance piece 104 will be removably attachable with the atleast one loop 152 within the preferred attachment parameters and/or themore preferred attachment parameters. In addition, in some embodiments,when the at least one loop 152 is attached with the holding device 102,either directly or with the assistance of at least one attachment piece112 or attachment piece part 114, the fragrance piece 104 will beremovably attachable with the at least one loop 152 within the removalattachment parameters, the removal and fit attachment parameters and/orthe preferred removal and fit attachment parameters.

Each fragrance piece 102 can be attachable with a loop 152 that is inthe form of a continuous loop, as exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 26,and 59-63, or in one or more pieces having at least two loose ends 156whereby at least two opposing loose ends 156 will be connectable withone another, as exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 15, and 64-70.Generally, there will be two opposing loose ends 156 that areconnectable with each other, however, if one or both of the loose ends156 are frayed, more than two loose ends 156 can be created. The looseends 156 can be connectable with each other by connectors 158 including,but not limited to, complimentary pieces of hook and loop material 178,including Velcro®, at least one button and complimentary button hole orloop, snaps, at least one complimentary hook and eye, and at least onehook and complimentary hook catch. Some of the loose end connectors 158can provide for more than one connection point, and thereby enabling thesize of the loop 152 to vary. Thereby, in some embodiments, when theloose end connectors 158 provide for more than one connection point, theconnection between the loose ends may be adjusted to enable the at leastone fragrance piece 104 to be attachable within the preferred attachmentparameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters, and in someembodiments within the removal attachment parameters, removal and fitattachment parameters and/or preferred removal and fit attachmentparameters.

A variable number of loops 152 can be integral with and/or attached orattachable with the holding device 102 either directly or with theassistance of an attachment piece 112 or one or more attachment pieceparts 114. In addition, if the at least one loop 152 is removablyattachable, such as those exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 15, 26, and70, the number and size of the loops 152 can vary, which can bebeneficial for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to,varying the number of fragrance pieces 104 to be attached and/or varyingthe at least one fragrance piece 104 size.

Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary FIGS. 26and 70, in some embodiments, the holding device 102 or attachment piecepart 114 can be made of hook or loop material 178. At least part of theouter surface of the at least one loop 152 can be made of thecomplimentary hook or loop material 178, thereby enabling the loop 152to be removably attachable anywhere on the complimentary hook or loopmaterial 178 on the holding device 102 or the attachment piece part 114.In addition, the number of loops 152 attached or attachable with theholding device 102 or attachment piece part 114 can vary. As exemplarilyillustrated in FIG. 70, a loop 152 can be made from two-sided hook andloop material 178, where one side of the hook and loop material 178 ismade of the loop material 178 b and the other side is made of the hookmaterial 178 a. When two-sided hook and loop material 178 is used tomake a loop 152, the loop can be made with either the hook or loop sideof the material facing outward, and as a result, the loop may beattachable with a holding device 102 or attachment piece part 114 ofwhich at least a portion is either hook material 178 a or loop material178 b.

As exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. including but not limited toexemplary FIGS. 61-65, in some embodiments, if more than one loop 152 isused for a straight fragrance piece 104, each loop 152 can be attachedin a generally straight line so that the straight fragrance piece 104may be easily inserted.

Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary FIGS. 17,60-62 and 69, in other embodiments, at least one loop 152 can be sewnonto the lining, sectional compartment, other interior or exteriorportion or structure of a holding device 102, which may include, but isnot limited to, a fabric structure, including but not limited to thewalls, sides, tops, bottoms or compartment or sectional dividers of aholding device 102, or sewn onto another attachment piece part 114 asexemplarily illustrated. The at least one loop 152 can be placed suchthat the attached fragrance piece 104 will be oriented in a directionincluding but not limited to vertical, diagonal or horizontal.

Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary FIGS. 31,32, 34, 34 a, 53, and 71-75, in some embodiments, the relationship ofthe size of the fragrance piece 104 and the size or the at least oneloop is calculated by determining the calculated circumference 150 ofthe outer surface of the fragrance piece 104. As illustrated in FIGS. 32a and 32 b, and 71-75 is to be noted that in the illustrationsillustrating the measurement of the circumference of the imaginarycircle 122, the “calculated circumference” 150 is not illustrated asexactly the size of the imaginary circle 122, which is done for clarityof illustration only; it is intended that the calculated circumference150 is the exact size of the imaginary circle 122.

When the outer shape of the fragrance piece 104 is circular, thecalculated circumference is actually the actual circumference of thefragrance piece 104. Since the calculated circumference is calculated bydrawing an imaginary circle around the fragrance piece, in the case of acircular fragrance piece, the imaginary circle and the actualcircumference will be the same. Accordingly, the term “calculatedcircumference” 150 as used herein is intended to include the actualcircumference of a circular fragrance piece. In addition, for a circularfragrance piece, the actual circumference, and therefore also thecalculated circumference, may be directly measured or it may be measuredby ways commonly known in the art, such as, but not limited to, bydetermining the diameter of the fragrance piece and utilizing thestandard Pi calculation of diameter multiplied by about 3.14 equalingthe circumference, as exemplarily shown as follows: if the diameter of acircular fragrance piece is 0.2 inches, then the actual circumference,and therefore also the calculated circumference, of the fragrance pieceis about 0.63 inches.

In some embodiments, the range of interactions between circumferences ofa loop 152 and calculated circumferences 150 of a fragrance piece 104 isin the range of the circumference of the loop being between at least aslarge as the calculated circumference 150 of a fragrance piece 104 andup to two times the size of the calculated circumference 150 of thefragrance piece 104. The term “circumference” of a loop is intended tomean the interior circumference of the loop and not the exteriorcircumference of the loop.

In some embodiments, by way of example and without intending to belimiting, when the calculated circumference of the fragrance piece 104is 0.63 inches, the circumference of the loop 152 would be in the rangeof no less than 0.63 inches and no more than 0.64 inches. As thecalculated circumference of the fragrance piece 104 increases ordecreases, the range of circumferences of the loop 152 will increase ordecrease proportionately. This embodiment can apply to loops 152 of allmaterials, including hook and loop materials 178. This range ofcompatible loop 152 sizes in relation to fragrance piece 104 calculatedcircumferences may also be used for memory materials, provided that thetension in the stretchiness of the memory material is such that a snugfit may be obtained.

In exemplarily illustrated in these embodiments two sets of three prongs134 are preferred. In addition, preferably, the two sets of prongs 134will be located toward the outer edges 198 of the bottom bar of thehanger 188. The location of two sets of prongs 134 near the outer edges198 of the bottom bar enables the attached at least one fragrance piece104 to encompass almost the whole width to the garment. As exemplarilyillustrated in FIG. 13, one fragrance piece 104 can be attached witheach set of prongs 134. However, it would be possible to attach one longfragrance piece 104 that will engage both sets of prongs 134.Additionally, if the prongs 134 and fragrance pieces 104 aresufficiently small, there could be three sets of prongs 134, with amiddle set located between the sets located near the outer edges of thebottom of the bottom hanger bar. This configuration would also enablethe at least one fragrance piece 104 to encompass almost the whole widthof the garment.

However, as previously described, it is also to be understood that inother embodiments the numbers of prongs 134, the numbers of prong 134sets and the number of prongs 134 in each set can vary from the threeprong 134 per set, and the two or three sets per hanger that areexemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 11-13, 92-95, 97, and 100. In addition,as previously described the size and shape of the prongs 134 can alsovary. Without intending to be limiting, it would also be possible tohave only one set of prongs 134 for one fragrance piece 104 that spansmost of the width of the hanger. In addition, without intending to belimiting, it would also be possible to have one long prong 134 thatspans most of the width of the hanger for the attachment of at least onefragrance piece 104. The use of two or three fragrance pieces 104 perhanger is preferred, however, as the shorter fragrance pieces 104 can beeasier than longer fragrance pieces 104 to attach and remove from thehanger. In addition, the use of more than one fragrance piece 104 perhanger 188, as exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 11-13 enables the userto vary the number of fragrance pieces 104 attached at one time, and tomix and match fragrances attached at one time.

Reference is now made to FIGS. 92-97 b, which exemplarily illustrate awidened shoulder area 204 on at least one top corner area 206 of ahanger 188. The widened shoulder area 204 will have at least onetapering area 132 that gradually tapers. The size and configuration ofeach widened shoulder area 204 can vary.

Preferably each shoulder widened area 204 will have four tapering areas132 that gradually taper, as exemplarily illustrated, to provide gradualeasement to the widened shoulder area without being destructive to thegarment. In this embodiment, each widened shoulder area 204 will have awide middle area 232 between two narrow end areas 234. The width of thewidened shoulder area 204 will gradually taper at the tapering areas 132located between each narrow end area 234 and wide middle area 232.

In some embodiments, the widened shoulder area 204 can be about 2.5inches long measured from one narrow end area 234 to the other, andabout 1 inch wide measured at the widest point of the wide middle area232. For an all-purpose hanger, this sized widened shoulder area 206,such as but not limited to the widened shoulder areas exemplarilyillustrated in these FIGS., provides a happy medium between givinggarments support without stretching the garments by sticking out toofar, and without taking up too much room in the closet. However, it isto be understood that other sized widened shoulder areas 204 can beused. By way of example, and without intending to be limiting, a largerwidened shoulder area could be used for larger garments, and a smallersize widened shoulder area could also be used for smaller garments.

The beneficial uses of the widened shoulder area 204 include, but arenot limited to, the following: providing added support to garments 200,especially coats and jackets, as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 93;holding hanging ribbons 222 on garments including, but not limited to,strapless dresses, skirts, and pants on the hanger by hanging thehanging ribbon 222 between the widened shoulder area and the middle ofthe upper bar 230 and preventing them from sliding off the top cornerarea 206 of the hanger; keeping sleeveless garments from sliding off thetop corner area 206 of a hanger by hanging the garment on the widenedarea and/or between the widened area and the middle of the upper bar 230as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 94; and keeping garments intact onthe hanger, particularly garments with wide necklines that mightotherwise slip off the top corner ends 206 of the hanger.

As exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 92, 96-97 the bottom side 208 of thewidened area can have at least one ridge 210 that extends the length ofthe widened shoulder area, which will add strength and support to thehanger.

Referring now to FIGS. 92-95, 97, and 98, a top oval area 212 with apartial center bar 214 is exemplarily illustrated. The large size of theoval opening 216 and the partial center bar 214, as exemplarilyillustrated, are beneficial to enable the user to hang clothingaccessories 202, including, but not limited to, sashes, belts, jewelry,scarves, ties from the partial center bar 214. The large oval opening216 enables easy attachment and removal of accessories 202, and enablesthe attachment of wide or thick accessories. In addition, the wide ovalopening 216 enables a long and wide partial center bar 214 to be locatedtherein. The substantial width and length of the partial center bar 214enhances the ability of a heavy accessory 202, such as but not limitedto, a heavy belt or piece of jewelry to be attached with the center barwithout causing the bar to break due to the weight of the accessory. Inaddition, by way of example, and without intending to be limiting, awide accessory, such as but not limited to a sash could be attached withthe partial center bar 214 without having to fold the accessorylengthwise, or otherwise having to reduce the width of the accessory.Further, the large size of the oval opening 216 creates sufficient spacefor the inclusion of a partial center bar 214 that only partiallytransects the oval opening 216, thereby enabling the partial center bar214 to be functional, and as previously described, while at the sametime providing for an increased ease of the hanging and removal ofaccessories than would be possible if the center bar fully transectedthe oval opening 216.

Reference is now made to FIGS. 92-95, 97, and 99, which exemplarilyillustrate a side hook area 228 in at least one corner 220 of a hanger188. Each side hook area 228 has a side hook space 218 that is partiallydefined by a hook 226, onto which portions of garments, including butnot limited to hanging ribbons 222, and accessories 202 can be attachedwith the hanger. The large size and location of the side hook space 218as exemplarily illustrated enable the user to attach garments 200 andaccessories 202, including wide or bulky hanging ribbons 222 of garments200 to the corners 220 of the hanger 188 while at the same time enablingeasy hanging and removal of the hanging ribbons 222 and/or otherportions of garments 200 and/or accessories 202. The bottom trianglesupport area 224 below each side hook space 218 adds added support andstrength to the hook 226 and the corners 220 of the hanger 188, therebyincreasing the weight of the garment 200 and/or accessory 202 that canbe hung from the each hook 226 of the hanger without causing the hangerto break.
